05. How to Fish a Nymph & Indicator 

Glad you like them!

Simms "bugstopper" gloves

You're welcome!

Thank you!

It's aggressive, so works really well with big stuff. Streamers would be totally fine, as would large terrestrial type dry flies (grasshoppers), but would be pretty poor with the usual size 16 Adams type of dry fly.

Sure thing, thanks

Tight line nymphing is more tactile and takes finesse, this is just better for beginners or those switching over from spin fishing perhaps.

@@sirmegallot3276 I disagree. There is a time, place, and type of water better suited to tightline/highsticking/euro nymphing and there is a time, place, and type of water better suited to indicator fishing. Through experience you'll know when to use which one.

Wow good eye ! I would never have gotten that !

Those are the Buff sun gloves

@@RIOPRODUCTS hi sorry to torture you, i can't find the gloves anywhere, could you tell me where exactly you got them, I'm in the uk perhaps that's the problem, thanks for your help and patience.

Here is a link to the gloves on the Buff website: buffusa.com/shop-buff/gloves-category.html

@@RIOPRODUCTS they must not make the ones your wearing any more, ah well i appreciate your help anyway thanks

One great place is around Heise bridge - upstream on downstream. You can access some good flats near the Cress creek car park too - crossing the canal and heading onto the island and to the river the other side. Another is around Twin bridges - on the island. Good luck!

RIO Products thanks for the advice!

Yup., you've got it!!!

Tough, but good question! Tippet and mono are really the same thing. "Mono" is an abbreviation for "monofilament" - which is translated as a single strand of filament - it can be nylon or fluorocarbon in the fly fishing world, but the name refers to the material itself. Tippet is a term used for the front part of the leader - basically the "tip" of the leader. It is made of monofilament. These days spools of monofilament are called "tippet" in the US and Mono in Europe, generally, and so mostly interchangeable. You could say "I need to add some tippet to my leader," or "I need to add some mono to my leader", and they would both make sense. What you can't really interchange is "My leader needs a new tippet" (which makes perfect sense), with "My leader needs a new mono(filament)".

Nope, not marketing at all - just the cost of the raw product

The environmental costs of fluorocarbon are ridiculously high too, since it doesn't really break down like monofilament does. Lose a spool of fluoro and wildlife will be tangled up in it for years to come. Not to mention all the smaller lengths that end up in our waterways. Fluoro performs very well, especially for nymphing. But mono is more than good enough in most instances.
